Pluscarden Abbey

Meditációk egy monostorból / A Skócia északkeleti részén álló Pluscarden bencés apátságot 1230-ban alapították, ez az egyetlen középkori kolostor Nagy-Britanniában, amely ma is működik. Szerzetesei Szent Benedek Reguláját követik mindennapi életükben, amelybe rövid betekintést nyújt ez a szinte szavak nélküli, elmélkedésre is alkalmat adó film… / The name Pluscarden, of which the earliest attestations were Pluscardyn in 1226 and Ploschardin 1233, is “problematic” in its origin. Pluscarden regularly appears in discussions of the possible Pictish or Brittonic element *carden, perhaps meaning “an enclosure”, which may be the second element. The first element seems to be Brittonic, but its identity is less apparent. It may be equivalent to the Cornish plos, apparently “filthy”. The most phonetically plausible solution is that the first element is either Gaelic plaosg, “integument, nutshell, eggshell” or its Pictish cognate *plusc (c.f. Welsh plisc, Middle Breton plusk).

A word related to Welsh plas, “a place”, has been suggested but is unlikely given the word is loaned from Old French. From the suggestion that plaosc or *plusc is the first element arises the possibility that the second part of the name is derived from Gaelic árd, or the Pictish equivalent of Welsh ardd, both meaning “height”
